Junior Saunders is searching for the perfect woman: gracious, elegant, and meek. He waits patiently, working long hours and going home alone night after night, believing that this woman exists. But life isn’t always predictable; curveballs can be thrown unexpectedly.

Kinsey Balterson is everything but gentle, delicate, and docile. She says it like it is—a spitfire, full of sarcasm with looks to kill. She’s downright sexy and thrilling in every way possible. Kinsey is a constant reminder of everything Junior detests in a woman, but the moment he lets his guard down, she captures his attention.

Can opposites really attract?

From this moment on, nothing is the same for Junior again. Everything he thought he wanted and needed no longer exists, and now his whole world has been shifted. His reason for breathing consists only of her—Kinsey. She has become his everything.

Kinsey thinks she has this all under control: friends with benefits, no strings attached—no messy feelings. She refuses to be broken again. But what happens when attraction turns into something deeper? Will Kinsey be able to let her walls down so her damaged heart can love again?

Can one person truly heal another’s heartbreak?

I am so happy that I found Shevaun DeLucia’s books! This series has kept me entertained from the first book. I love the cast of characters that continues in each of the books even though they can all be read as a stand-alone.

Junior and Kinsey’s story was so fun. I love Kinsey – she is fun, tough as nails, and apologetically herself. She is not what you would expect from  a love story “heroine” which I think makes her all the more lovable. I wasn’t really sure that I would like the way that her and Junior’s relationship would play out considering they went from hate to lust in about .3 seconds but I was pleasantly surprised.

Nirvana read quicker then the first two books in the series. I am not sure if it was because it was in fact shorter, or because I was so into the story that it went by fast. Either way it was a great read. You do not have to read the first two books in the series to enjoy Nirvana but you will know the characters better if you do. I fully recommend this whole series!

Shevaun DeLucia, author of the Eternal Mixture Series and A Forbidden Love Series, lives in upstate New York with her husband, four children, and two dogs. As a stay-at-home mom while her children were young, she fell in love with reading. She indulged in the small moments that took her away from the reality of her loud, rambunctious household, bringing her into a world of fantasy. When reading wasn’t enough to satisfy her, she turned to writing, determined to create the perfect ending of her own.
